Abigail Cavizo and Colin M. Mullaney are two "washed-up" reporters articulating a Gen-Z perspective, amplifying young voices, and advocating for free speech. Subscribe for incisive, weekly commentary on the latest news — delivered with scrappiness and the fear of God. We do not need to be divisive in order to be entertaining, engaging, and effective. Scapegoating and black-and-white thinking are a relic of the past. Join us as we explore the false binaries that benefit bad-faith actors — and expose the perverse incentives that drive societal conflicts. All opinions are our own.
